Ripped off from http://www.fasterandfaster.net/2009/11/201...ed-at-2009.html

I've copied/pasted the text directly as their site is running extremely slow today; but check this odd thing out:

CR&S have released the first official pics of their new ‘naked, twin seater, premium motorcycle,’ the Duu. ‘Two Western motorcycle cultures will be synthesized inside the Duu – a sporty European rolling chassis powered by a muscular American big-twin,’ claim CR&S on their website.

The Duu will be fitted with a 1,916cc S&S X-Wedge v-twin. However, no power output figures are quoted and there’s no information regarding the bike’s weight either. CR&S expect to start selling the Duu in Europe by 2011, with prices starting at 20,000 euros (US$29,500). Only a few dozen of these hand-built bikes will be made every year.

The single-side swingarm looks impressive, though overall the Duu looks like a Harley-designed Ducati Streetfighter with some musclebike design cues from the Yamaha VMax. You decide if that’s a good thing. In the meanwhile, the bike will be on display at the EICMA show in Milan this year.

Savage! Love seeing concept bikes.

Still think tho that theres bits wrong with the design
- The petrol cap.... in the event of a front on collision you'd not want your jubblies goin near that petrol cap
- Wheel design. Real pity the front wheel design doesn't match the back. They both have the rivets around the rim but the back wheels spoke design is missing from the front.
- wheelbase... is the rear arm too long?
- Seat. judging by the potential power itd be nice to have some kindof 'catcher' to stop yer ar$e flying off the back of the seat
